Camera activation and image processing for transaction verification

Abstract

A device may receive first information related to a transaction. The device may identify a first device from which to receive an image of a receipt related to the transaction. The device may provide, to the first device, a notification to cause the first device to perform a set of actions including activating a camera associated with the first device to capture the image of the receipt, or providing, for display, an instruction related to capturing the image of the receipt associated with the transaction. The device may receive, from the first device, the image of the receipt. The device may process the image of the receipt to perform an analysis of the transaction. The device may perform an action related to the transaction based on a result of processing the image of the receipt.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A method comprising:
 receiving, by a user device, a notification from a transaction backend device, based on information associated with a distance between the user device and another device, associated with the transaction, satisfying a threshold distance,
 the notification including data associated with a request for an image of values associated with a receipt relating to a transaction associated with the transaction backend device, and 
 the notification being based on information associated with the transaction satisfying a threshold; 
 
 providing, for display by the user device, information associated with the notification indicating the request; 
 activating, by the user device and based on receiving the notification, a camera associated with the user device; 
 initiating, by the user device and based on receiving the notification, a timer that provides an indication of an amount of time to when the user device will capture the image of values automatically; 
 modifying, by the user device and after initiating the timer, the image of values; and 
 providing, by the user device and to the transaction backend device, the image of values and verification information associated with verifying or approving the transaction. 
 
     
     
       2. The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 providing, for display, another request that requests input of particular information related to the transaction,
 the particular information being different from the image of values. 
 
 
     
     
       3. The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 providing, to the transaction backend device, an input that identifies particular information that is different from the image of values. 
 
     
     
       4. The method of  claim 3 , where the particular information identifies one or more individuals associated with the transaction, and
 where the one or more individuals are not associated with the user device or a transaction card being used for the transaction. 
 
     
     
       5. The method of  claim 3 , where the particular information identifies a location associated with the transaction. 
     
     
       6. The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 receiving, from the transaction backend device, data that causes the user device to display analysis results associated with the transaction. 
 
     
     
       7. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the information associated with the transaction is a value associated with the transaction, and
 wherein the threshold is a threshold value associated with the transaction. 
 
     
     
       8. The method of  claim 1 , wherein modifying the image of values includes at least one of:
 changing a focus of the image of values, or 
 processing the image of values using an image processing technique. 
 
     
     
       9. The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 providing another request for biometric information; and 
 providing, to the transaction backend device, the biometric information. 
 
     
     
       10. A device comprising:
 one or more memories; and 
 one or more processors, communicatively coupled to the one or more memories, to:
 receive a notification from a transaction backend device, based on information associated with a distance between the device and another device, associated with the transaction, satisfying a threshold distance,
 the notification including data associated with a request for an image of values associated with a receipt relating to a transaction associated with the transaction backend device, and 
 the notification being based on information associated with the transaction satisfying a threshold; 
 
 provide, for display by the device, information associated with the notification indicating the request; 
 activate, based on receiving the notification, a camera associated with the device; 
 initiate, based on receiving the notification, a timer that provides an indication of an amount of time to when with the device will capture the image of values automatically; 
 modify, after activating the camera and after initiating the timer, the image of values; and 
 provide, to the transaction backend device, the image of values and verification information associated with verifying or approving the transaction. 
 
 
     
     
       11. The device of  claim 10 , where the one or more processors are further to:
 provide, for display, another request that requests input of particular information related to the transaction,
 the particular information being different from the image of values. 
 
 
     
     
       12. The device of  claim 10 , where the one or more processors are further to:
 provide, to the transaction backend device, an input that identifies particular information that is different from the image of values. 
 
     
     
       13. The device of  claim 12 , where the particular information identifies one or more individuals associated with the transaction, and
 where the one or more individuals are not associated with a transaction card being used for the transaction. 
 
     
     
       14. The device of  claim 12 , where the particular information identifies a location associated with the transaction. 
     
     
       15. The device of  claim 10 , where the one or more processors are further to:
 receive, from the transaction backend device, data that causes the device to display analysis results associated with the transaction. 
 
     
     
       16. The device of  claim 10 , where the one or more processors are further to:

 receive a notification from a transaction backend device, based on information associated with a distance between a device associated with the one or more processors, and another device associated with the transaction, satisfying a threshold distance,
 the notification including data associated with a request for an image of values associated with a receipt relating to a transaction associated with the transaction backend device; 
 
 provide, for display by the device, information associated with the notification indicating the request;
